LaFleurSo with that being known how do people on here justify the fact that they're using sales as a talking point when it comes to discussing music ?
I would assume it's weighted relative to population of listeners. Every city listed in op is a small city.

Ain't no way for 2 reasons :
- One 'cause I could bet my whole bank account that not a single person from Glendive, MT pressed play on a Doja and Nicki song
- Two 'cause the most obvious answer is stream farmers are just IP mapping to random unheard locations
- Three because all of the usual culprits are here but the highest selling acts with well know high engagement and god-like devotion from their fanbase are not there at least def not on the first spots (BTS, Taylor...). So if you really think that people in Glendive would rather bump a Dababy song than a folk country Taylor song you're being dense on purpose

I love how you're just completely assuming that Rolling Stones "Top Cities" metric is 100% accurate and not broken
pretty interesting because on Spotify DaBaby's top cities are
LA
Dallas
Chicago
Atlanta
Syndey Australia& it was always like that. Rolling Stone just had broken metrics imo
why would streaming farms use proxies in unheard of locations? that would just arise suspicions. They would try blend in with a normal listener, anyone that's botted before knows this lol

martian masterAh yes because someone found one "streaming farm" we should invalidate all sales talk
Was never even valid in the first place

OVHoe FreightY'all really dumb. If getting the #1 was as easy as Gunna buying some streams then Weeknd's team would've just bought more. Y'all think Trav would be jumping through all these damn bundle loophole hoops if it was as easy as just buying some streams?

Faking to get signed =/= faking to be popular

BanditoNo wonder the streaming platforms don’t want to pay artists. They know half these artists are capping with their fake streams.

billboard, nielsen, soundscan and whoever tf streaming numbers get reported too are aware of this and don't count fake streams to their numbers. why you think weeknd's numbers dropped drastically from the projections
- Jan 26, 2022
Bruh based on the second op post, it takes 15k for a million streams.
That’s nothing for larger artists

That album SCREAMS pumped streams tho
like he wasn't even slick with itstop
- Jan 26, 2022LaFleur
Lmao they found a huuuuge amount of streams for huge names like Drake/Dua/Taylor... coming from a small city in the US with something like 100 people living in it. You're fooling yourself if you think that only B-lister use these kind of methods
That top cities is misleading. I'm sure it's based on percentages. If a city has 5000 it's easy for more than 50% of the population to listen to those songs especially if they are popular. And 50% is low

Yall quick to disregard streams when that benefits black rappers but quiet for radio which is propelling white people to the top
lol another topic for another day
